As reported in detail at Lost Lettermen and the Kansas City Star, 5-year-old Emma Burton of Olathe, Kan., refused to participate in a class coloring assignment when she and her classmates were told to color in a Jayhawk, the mascot of the University of Kansas. The coloring exercise was part of the kindergarten class' celebration of the state of Kansas.

However, Emma wouldn't comply with her teacher's instructions. Instead, according to her mother -- Bug Bytes blogger Julie Burton -- the four-foot tall tot brazenly refused to color the Jayhawk on the grounds that she doesn't like the University of Kansas. She took the Jayhawk sheet she had been handed, walked up to her teacher and asked for a Powercat (the mascot of Kansas State) to color. When Burton was told there weren't any Powercats to color, she threw the Jayhawk in the trash.

Why is this even a story? The teacher can click her heels together threve times and go frick herself. Love the way the mother handled it. Kid should get free KState tickets for awhile.

Learn to do what the teacher asks kid. This 5 year old isn't too smart anyway if her handwriting is any indication (my Pre-K girl writes better than that) PLUs she's another dumbass K St fan in training. No wonder those EMAW folks are so fricked up.
